Medical Conditions - Calcium Stones

Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stone. Calcium stones occur in the form of calcium phosphate. High doses of vitamin D, intestinal bypass surgery, metabolic disorders, and diet increase the concentration of calcium or oxalate in the urine, resulting in the formation of calcium stones. The doctor breaks kidney stones using shock wave lithotripsy, where kidney stones are broken into small pieces.
